Michael D. McMaster coined the phrase “organizational intelligence” in his 1995 book, The Intelligence Advantage: Organizing for Complexity. Since then, this concept—that an organization itself should be intelligent beyond its individual members—has become the basis of his consulting practice, workshops, and international conferences.
Keeping up with the times and being aware of the interplay among new technologies is imperative for businesses. Satisfaction of wants and needs has become cheaper and more convenient than ever before—the focus, therefore, no longer centers on manufacturing new products but on harnessing new ideas.
To compete effectively, organizations need to be adaptive entities that straightforwardly welcome change, constantly gathering information, generating new knowledge, and innovating based on those developments. Don’t rely on the methods of the machine age—take that essential step into the age of information and technology. This book will show you how.
McMaster provides a necessary vocabulary for truly grasping everything the organizational intelligence concept has to offer, inserting quotes and sharing information in list format to transform this complex material into easily comprehensible and actionable practices. What IS Organizational Intelligence? is an insightful, thought-provoking, and useful book for forward-thinking senior executives across all industries.

Starting out as a young CPA, McMaster has since amassed a deep, informed knowledge base through study in a variety of fields, including psychology, linguistics, Austrian economics, pattern language, learning, philosophy, complex adaptive systems theory, and business organization and management.
He currently resides in Vancouver, BC.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
